Is it just me or is AlWatan newspaper acting like totally cheap prostitute?!
For the past week or two, nonstop, the exact same issue of the 50 KD salary increase has been repeated every day in the biggest font on the top of the front page!!
I have never seen a newspaper be so enthusiastic about an issue! The problem is that AlWatan has suddenly adopted an issue beyond anything else and that this issue in the end revolves around personal gain and might actually be something bad for Kuwait in the long term!
The issue was rejected by the finance committee in the parliament, but that doesn’t stop AlWatan, they went as far as asking people (actually begging) to get in touch with their members of parliament to get them to meet and approve the issue even though the parliament is on a break right now!
I keep trying to convince myself that the same newspaper would take one fifth of the effort spent in this campaign in adopting real issues like improving the education system of fixing our outdated hospitals or the Northern oil fields situation or something like that!!
Im not saying the 50KD is a trivial matter, but if you read the newspaper, you would think that this 50KD will help solve all Kuwait’s problems!
They are acting like a cheap prostitute who’s mouth has been watering since they heard about the 50KD!
And today they went beyond all reason and even human decency!
As a newspaper, they are supposed to cover the news, the main issues happening in the world today….right??
The world was shocked yesterday at the Israeli destruction of Qana a second time in recent years, killing many children and wounding many more. The Lebanese war has been going on for a while now, and yesterday was a significant day in the fighting and diplomatic efforts, but the Qana massacre is a black mark in our recent history without a doubt….
How did the Kuwaiti papers cover it?
This is the front page from the 3 other papers I have next to me -
All the papers have the Lebanon issue on the front page, what did AlWatan do for their front page?
You see the red circle??? That’s where they mention Qana - مجزرة قانا الثانية تدخل المنطقة إلى المجهول
Thats it!
They talk about Israel pulling out later….but look at the main issue!! 50KD salary increase, 200KD min7a….. 6raaara!
Disgusting!

this is not new to alwatan , once it happen they would claim they were leading cause of it
just like the election , they claim it became cleaner because of them
and they can throw away any objection they have to anything once the command reach them
suddenly i don’t see nothing in alwatan that says 5 are bad , while they kept running on that platform for months

أحلى شي قبل كم يوم
مسوين تغطية كاملة لتحركات النائب البطل عبدالواحد توتو العوضي
شلون قاعد يحشد و يتحرك لاكمال النصاب للتصويت على المنحة قبل لا ينحاشون النواب الخونة و يسافرون
مسخرة في مسخرة
طبعا خلك من فؤاد الهاشم اللي يوم ما يدري وين الله قاطه, ابي مقالتين نفس الشي ماكو, يوم يمدح بحزب الله و يوم يسبهم
احسن شي فيها انه نبيل الفضل ماخذ اجازة
سلام

Subject : Fouad Al-Hashem
I am Kuwaiti (bedoon) but live in the US for many years. I write in English because I do not have Arabic computer. I read the article of Mr. Zuhair Jabr about Fouad Al-Hashem, and I support most of his comments.
I know Fouad Al-Hashem and his family since I was a boy. I can tell you that the story about his sister is true. Also, his brother Salah (a lawyer) was well known in the neighbourhood as “Khaneeth Al-Fereej” because many older boys used to do him a lot. Fouad and Salah actually sued their own mother to get more money after their father died.
More important is that Fouad Al-Hashem is very close with the US embassy in Kuwait and gets certain instructions on what to write about especially regarding the support of US policies in the Middle East.
